And I ran away....

I'm a planner.

Needing to plan every step.

Checking the details once, twice, a dozen times.

But when my son saw me mindlessly sketching

A faceless head in a cage 

With raised eyebrow he said "I'm not even gonna ask"

And I looked down with a "yikes"

 

Loading the son and dog in the car

30 minutes later we were on the run

Sensing I needed the lake

We ended up in Michigan

With a mile hike over the sand dunes

Just when I thought I would die from the exercise and heat

We found ourselves standing at the top of a very steep hill 

Looking down at the blue water below

 

We spent the whole day on this nearly deserted piece of heaven

Laughing within minutes I felt recharged

Deciding we'd come back the next day

We found a cheap hotel

 

We spent another day playing under the sun

Being cleansed by the wind and water

I built a labrynth

And walked the spiral in prayer

And here's what I learned

If you dig, you will find what you seek

Ask for it, and it will be revealed

 

For treasures come it different forms

And when you feel like you can't go another step

And you want to give up ~

That's the moment your prayer is about to be answered

 

 

And it's up to you

If you give up

Or take another step

 

 

And that's when I discovered my freedom
